Beijing Excellent Trip

CCTV has a way of broadcasting great mind-opening programs. As we arrived with jet lag and were watching programs in the wee hours, there was a Jiangxi Tao mountain pictures program which showcased glacial era rock formations, I believe, led to the earliest Taoist human development. This encore une fois (one more time) bravo TV program gave another marvelous show on the the First Emperor of China. It gave the jade dark green with the China Proper architecture, set in Xian, wood palaces. After 20 years since 1988 as the museum head of the Terra Cotta warriors, archeologist Yuan Muyi, gave his insights and the interview let him flow out his words after years of dedicated works, every word rings historic remarks that are not from text books. This innovative remarks come from comprehension of his works, I have similiar words and thoughts to say about Shang dynasty vs Zhou dynasty as he has the words about Han dynasty vs Qin dynasty. My specialty in Shang generates from my own heritage and bloodline, it is innate to me and Zhou finished Shang, so that Shang was demonized and nothing but criticism of unkind cruelty. This is what expert on Qin culture, Yuan Muyi said about Han dynasty, that it was propaganda about a beautiful and graceful culutre, as the advanced technology and sculpture was ranked supertbly, that no thousands of artisans worked on such a magnificent scale ever on the world terrain. What he didn't say and I would like to tell Mr. Yuan Mu Yi is that China's Shang dynasty's bronze and artisans of Sculpture predated Qin dynasty. The Qin crown prince Su and his adviser General Meng Tian built up the Great Wall, by linking multitudes of regional walls. From Qin dynasty relics (Qin is at the end of Zhou dynasty), I can see the Shang palace, and the color, architecture is all there. I like Qin Shi Huang, because I love Chinese, and China Proper and once it was able to rein in its art, military to the splendid level. Qin unified China, and the bloodline of China Proper. Its beauty was never again to rein itself on its proprietary domain, and its descendants and works of art is to leave traces only in Kyoto and enclaves of foreign lands, never to be on its soil. Once China was still not yet in one China, it has the very deep line and cultural distinction, from the border that separated Qin culture to Chu China Proper culture.
